A calendar of trips and activities available to school district patrons from January to March has been mailed to all households in the Peabody and Burns communities.

Peabody-Burns Recreation Commission sponsors the activities, which include trips to hockey and basketball games, classes in batik dyeing, and computer skills and crafts.

The second-semester classes will begin with basketball and weight room sessions from 2 to 4 p.m. Sundays from Jan. 2 to March 6. There is no charge for the sessions.

The first trip for patrons will be a trip to Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita for a hockey game between the Wichita Thunder and Bloomington Prairie Thunder. The cost is $20 per person, and the rec commission will provide bus transportation from PBHS that will leave at 5:15 p.m. and return about 10:30 p.m.
